I fully agree. School traffic currently comprises about 30% of morning rush-hour traffic. If we can reduce that figure, it will have a profound impact. We are looking at costing what is the increased level of public service offering, PSO, that would be needed to give that ultra-high frequency services so that people see it in the same way as the Luas.

I also agree about the benefits of night-time services when we are seeking to develop the social night-time economy of towns and cities around the country. Sligo and Waterford now have early morning services to enable people to get into town in time for morning business meetings.
